Thx, Sylvain -- I do not know and am now thrilled to take a look!
Excited, elated, chuffed, stoked, even!
[But off to prepare & give a lecture first...]

Looking forward to more great things from Josiah! You're lucky to have him.
On the British theme, I'm torn between "dreary" and "bleak."

^* – excuse the Briticism, but I'm running out of synonyms for "excited" in this context, and "thrilled" is too stereotypically LInkedIn/Twitter overhype–ish for my taste. (Our next experiment will be on measuring how long an atom spends in its chuffed state.)

Hopefully the exp't paper will follow its sibling into print shortly, once we remove all the objectionable stuff about what the results actually mean, and deliver "just the facts, ma'am," to mollify our referees, at the risk of putting our readers to sleep+teaching them nothing

But after a colossal vacuum failure, this experiment had been down for just over 12 mths, so seeing any cold atoms here at all is just like bringing 3 of my students (& a part of me) back from the dead.
Congratulations Kyle, Vida, & Andy on the fruit of a very frustrating year!

Meanwhile, let's all keep trying to learn this lesson about understanding in what way every one is right (even when they're wrong).
